Biography

Jonathan Scott was born either in Georgia or South Carolina on January 9, 1816. He is the son of Isham and Penelope (Penny) Ann Scott.

Jonathan is believed to have lived in Sumter County, South Carolina between 1820-1830 due to census records showing his father residing here during these years. Census records indicate that sometime in 1830, Isham Scott moved his family from Sumter County to Marlboro County, South Carolina. The 1840 US Census shows Isham Scott still living in Marlboro County, South Carolina.
